Physics for First Year BHSc @ Auckland?
Hi!
I’m a year 11 student currently looking at my options for next year, with the ambition of doing first year Health Science at Auckland, and then (hopefully) Medicine. I'm looking at Health Science for my first year as I think that I'm stronger in more Englishy subjects, compared to Sciencey stuff, and because the psychology- and society-related topics in the BHSc papers look really interesting.
Anyways, I’ve decided on English, Maths, Bio, Chem and Economics at the moment, and am contemplating as to whether I should take History or Physics as my 6th subject. I’m leaning towards history atm because I think it would be nice to take another English-rich subject, due to the essay writing components of the Population Health papers, and because I think it would be really interesting. However, I’m concerned as to whether not taking Physics would affect my progress in the course - as far as I know, unlike first year BioMed, there doesn’t appear to be much Physics at all in any of the first year BHSc papers - is this true, or would Physics be useful? Also, would not taking Physics be a hindrance for medicine if I get in?
Thanks in advance for your help
